Peon ATHARD, HARD JOB A times comes in the iife ot every man, particularly when he nears the biblicai three score and 10, when he longs to be away from the hustle and bustle of life, for a time at least. That thought came to mind by reading a boxed item in The Citizen of the sale of a small island | near Conch Key. Cato, as he toiled through the years till he worked himgelf up into one of ine most important figures ancient Réifie produced, dreamed of the time when he would withdraw from the turmoil of politics and devote the re- mainder of his life to farming. The time came when he worked in soil to get fruits, vegetables and flowers out of it, as a result of which he wrote a masterpiece on horticul- ture. In Key West aow is a man who is rounding out 12 years in the most contentious office in this county, as well as in every other county in the country, and his thoughts now are centered on raising strawberries, to- matoes, cauliflowers and ‘other fruits and vegetables oh a part of a small island, 25 miles from Key West. *. The adjective “contentious” identifies the office as that of sheriff, as it would identify it in any other county iffhe’state. Sheriff Berlin Sawyer could have sold all his istifid of 10 acres at a “fancy” price, but he refused and fifally compromised by selling seven of the 10 acres. It is well that he did so, as the sale has promoted the inter- e&t8 of Monroe county. The buyer is spending between $50 and $75 thousand to improve his seven acres, and Sheriff Sawyer has arranged to improve his three. in- cluding the construction of a house. What will happen on this island and the one near Conch Key in the line of development, will happen also on many another isolated island in the Florida Keys. The time will come, and it is not far away, when Monroe coun- ty will be dotted with “country show places” of a similar nature, Rut back to the office of sheriff to demonstrate what a trying job it is. Max Marks, about whom The Citizen ran several stories concerning his visit here as a repre- sentative of State Treasurer and Insurance Commissioner J. Edwin Larsen, was present when Sheriff Sawyer was talking about his proposed farming activities; %.' { When he concluded, Marks related a story about a sheriff who was driven crazy by the complexities of his official life. Another sheriff, seeking respite from the troubles, left town on a fortnight’s vacation. One day he stépped his car when he saw a man pitching stones in an inelosure, In the enclosure was a building that, the sheriff learned, was an insane asylum. He saw a guard, beckoned him to the fence and asked why the man was throwing rs thé stones. ~ “He’s a former sheriff who went nuts and now thinks }~ he’s a great baseball pitcher. | “Oh, yes? If I don’t quit my job as sheriff, it won't be long before I'll be his catcher.” The Citizen does not wish to dissuade anybody from ronning for the office-of sheriff, but merely points out it’s hard, hard job eerie | An enemy who becomes a friend is usually a real} A man matures as he learns what other people know | ad learns to laugh at himself, | Most calls for unity are calls for other people to line up- behind the speaker's views.

An immediate and unlimited gen- wal strike was ordered for all of Tunis by the big labor federa- tion, ‘Union Genera‘e Tunisienne du Travail (general Union of Tunis- ian Workers), to protest the arrest and Thursday’s bloodshed. Three Tunisians were killed and at least 50 seriously injared Thurs- day when police fired into mobs at Ferryville and Bizerte.

It said inspec- ion and quarantine ef/orts have veen intensified in regard to ani nal imports. However, even as the department tnnounced its new campaign there vere reports from widely scattered varts of the country that meat in ipectors were fired by the scores There was no immediate ¢<plan ition by the department.

The result, he told a reporter, is to put the government into com- etition with the nation’s print shops, and creating unemployment. He said that when the ‘bill was drawn in committee, he tried to raise the postal card rate to two cents, leaving “post cards” at a penny. Failing that, he sponsored ° the 10 per cent surcharge on quan- tity purchases as the next best thing. Meat Law Changes; Wait Enforcement; ORLANDO \# — Enforcement o} the state’s controversial meat in! svection law has been set aside temporarily, + ‘ The action was taken Thursday by the State Livestock Sanitary Board which s: however, indi- vidual packers could continue to get inspection under the new law if they wish. The board put aside enforcement vending adoption of operating rules and regulations. Packers of the Miami area said they would be put out of business, immediately without stote inspec- tion of some kind; and then it was, agreed to continue to optional in- Pection under the program which began Jan. 1. The board said it expected to, have regulations set at a Tampa meeting early in February. At a meeting in Jacksonville sev- eral weeks ago, packers and pro- cessors protested what they called high fees under the new law, say+ ing small firms would be put out of business by it. They also pro- tested operation of the act until “definite” regulations are set up. Political Announcements DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, MAY 6, 1952 For Clerk of Circuit Court EARL R.
